Click Import.

The imported orchestration appears at the top of the orchestration asset list with the specified name. Imported orchestrations are set to Draft status, with Edited by set to the name of the user who imported the orchestration. For more information on importing orchestrations, see Import and export orchestrations.

Manage orchestrations

You can edit, delete, and export orchestrations with the options available in the Assets page.

Important:

Assets inherit design-time permissions from the solution. To give users design-time access to an asset, add them to the solution with the appropriate solution role. For more information, see Assets.

Each orchestration on the Assets page has an options menu with actions relevant to that orchestration. Some options are common to all orchestration, while others depend on the orchestration type or status.

To open the options menu, find the orchestration you want and click on the right of the orchestration.

For information about the different options available, see Orchestration options () .

Edit an orchestration

On the Assets page, click the name of the orchestration you want to open or click next to the orchestration and select Open.
